Reports: Milan and Inter ultras leaders arrested in Prosecutor’s Office raid – the details

The Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office have arrested a number of key figures from Inter’s Curva Nord and AC Milan’s Curva Sud this morning on charges of criminal association, reports claim.

Radio Rossonera have summarised the reports from various papers this morning, beginning with the fact that some leaders of the two groups are being charged for mafia methods, extortion, assault and other serious crimes.

The raid by the police arrived at dawn today, Monday 30 September and there were 16 arrests and two people put under house arrest after a major investigation ‘into extortion, bribery, cartels and fights between the leading groups of the organised fan bases of Inter and Milan’, as per the Corriere della Sera.

After the murder of Antonio Bellocco – a member of the board of Inter’s Curva Nord and linked to the ‘ndrangheta (a famous Italian mafia group) it was interpreted as a sign of ‘increasingly close relations between some sectors of organised Milanese fans and Calabrian criminal clans’, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport.
